Gaza ,steadfast and unshaken

Palestinian resistance men  have targeted  “tel aviv” with missiles fired from the Gaza Strip amid escalating violence in the region.

Eighteen Palestinians have been killed in Israeli operations against resistance in Gaza since Wednesday afternoon, when an Israeli air strike killed the military leader of Hamas in his car in Gaza City.

The Prime Minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, condemned what he called Israel’s “ferocious assault” against the territory.

 “We here in Gaza will remain steadfast and unshaken,” he said in a televised statement. “We will fend off the aggression.

 “We are all confident in our intrepid resistance fighters who are now deployed on the front.”

 Late on Thursday, BBC correspondents in Gaza reported several massive explosions and missile fire in and around Gaza City as Israeli strikes continued.

 Many of the Palestinians killed in Gaza during the last two days by the Israeli aerial and naval bombardment were members of resistance men , but civilians – including at least four children – were also among the dead.

Israel’s aerial and naval bombardment of the Gaza Strip is its most intense assault on the Palestinian territory since it launched a full-scale invasion four years ago.
